devices: Add nct6779 support

This is a Nuvoton Super I/O chip supported by the nct6775-i2c driver
recently added to the Linux kernel, and employed in systems such as the
ASRock Rack romed8hm3, in which it provides the only way for the BMC to
monitor host CPU temperatures.

Tested: on an ASRock Rack romed8hm3 with an entity-manager config
modified to include an nct6779 entry, hwmontempsensor exposes sensor
readings from it appropriately (though support for handling host
power-state transitions is yet to be implemented and will be required
for full support, because the nct6779 is in the same power domain as the
host).
